Considering trends analysis

Messi's popularity likely dipped earlier but surged in 2022. However, I need to be cautious about making definitive claims without a source. It would be good to ask for clarification and offer to pull Google Trends data for a year-by-year analysis from 2010 to 2024.

I can propose using the Google Trends API (pytrends) to assess interest over time for players. I'll make sure to check if I have permission to fetch this data, as network restrictions could apply. If needed, I can also offer to write a Python script for calculating this.
